3. Who is your favorite blogger?

I’m an avid reader and subscribe to many blogs, on real estate, blogging, marketing, education, and women’s issues.  Sometimes, on politics and other topics related to current events.  For me to choose a favorite blogger, would be a total contradiction of who I am.  I read for content, to learn, and to be moved.  There are many great writers out there who blog.  (Thank you.) 

4. If you could meet anyone (alive or dead), who would it be and what is the most interesting thing about them? 

One person that I’d like to meet, or at least sit and listen to, is Buckminster Fuller.  So many ideas.  Or maybe, Leonardo da Vinci.  It’s hard to pick just one.

5. What did you want to be when you grew up? 

I wanted to be a commercial jet pilot.  And then, I found out that my vision wasn’t good enough, so I quickly changed my focus to computers, which I’ve incorporated into my life, in one way or another for 35 years.

6. What is the most interesting piece of trivia you know? 

Now this is a scary one, because there’s so much running around in my head that’s not connected to anything.  Stopping to pull out a tidbit could take a moment, or maybe much longer, ….so, I did a Google search and found way too much trivia, and in looking for something funny to post, find that “The bloodhound is the only animal whose evidence is admissible in an American court.”

7. If you could live in any point in history what would it be and why? 

My first response on this one, would be to head into future.  One of the “dreams” that I’ve had for some time, is to be in a plane full of friends, flying into the sunset for 24 hours.  Don’t have any idea if there’s a machine that fly at this speed, but it’s a pretty cool idea, isn’t it?  Seems like it would be a great party.

8. What is the most interesting job you have ever held? 

My most interesting job is the one that I’m doing.  I tend to live, eat, and sleep in present time. I immerse myself.  Computers, R&D, sales and marketing, product development, network marketing, real estate.  But now that I’ve put that string of jobs on the table, I’d have to say being a parent has been the most challenging and interesting job I’ve ever had – there’s just no manual and it takes a lot of care, commitment, and creativity, to figure it all out.  Besides making me a more patient and compassionate person, it’s helped me become a much better juggler!

Now, for the next round of the game. Here are the eight people that I will encourage to keep the meme going.  I’m going to select Scottsdale and Phoenix area blogs, so you can meet of few more from our growing local real estate blogging community.
